Selection of reductants for extracting selenium and tellurium from degoldized solution of copper anode slimes

This paper focused on investigating high-efficient reductants of recovering selenium and tellurium from degoldized solution of copper anode slimes. Firstly, the effect of various reductants on recovery rates of Se and Te was investigated based on thermodynamic analysis of various metallic ions in degoldized solution. Secondly, the single factor experiments were made to investigate the effect of the process parameters on recovering Se and Te with...
